Bilstein 24-158848 Monotube Steering Damper, Front 46mm,Silver

I keep saying these things are so expensive, but continue to hear they are worth it.I purchased the Bilstein Steering stabilizer for my Ford Excursion. It seems to be doing a good job for the past week. All the other brands I have tried in the past always end up leaking after a year.Some of the reviews for this stabilizer complain that it's is pressurized and causes there vehicle to drift to the left.It is pressurized coming out of the box. For my application, this made no difference in where the truck wanted to go. Straight down the road with no problems.I have passed over the Bilstein in the past for my vehicles just due to the cost.A few months ago I installed front and rear on a Ford Ranger, they made such a difference on that little truck.When my Ford Excursion needed new shocks the Bilsteins were contenders. The cost is high, but the performance is worth it.Keeping a 9500lb. vehicle in check is a quite a chore for any shock.If your on the fence, get this brand.

Great product and perfect fit for my 2002 F250 4x4, made a big difference over the worn out oem part. Easy installation and improved handling.

Bilstein schocks are the best. A little pricy but you get what you pay for.

Big improvement in the steering on my F-350 Super Duty. Old one was worn out.

Super easy to install. Comes with instructions including what length your bracket has to be at for it to fit appropriately. Stock bracket is required. Be SURE to measure from the right spot! I have attached a picture. In the instructions I don't think the picture is quite clear enough and it may seem like you measure from the dimple closest to the passenger tire. Don't do that. Measure from where my picture shows. If you install and are getting popping noises when turning your measurement for the bracket is off. I made the mistake so you don't have to!My clevis was bent and wouldn't allow the new stabalizer to even begin to seat in there. Pair of vice grips and a really big bar allowed me to open the clevis up enough to get the new stabalizer end in there. Picture attached with how I did that if you happen to run into the same issue.

Does Not fit 2000 F-250 super duty xlt 4wd,I currently have a stock setup and tires on my truck and there wasnt enough movement in this stabilizer to accomodate the stock setup. (even though this is what the bilstein website calls out). The quality looked nice but I dont want a steering damper to be the limiting factor in my turn radius.

Installed this on my 2003 F250 FX4. Bolted right up to the stock mounting location. The only issue I had was my truck didn’t have a factory steering damper or the previous owner took it off, so I had to buy a bolt for the eyelet end. No big deal though, quick measurement for bolt length and short trip to the hardware store. Definitely tightened up the steering a lot! Didn’t really notice a pull to the left like every one else talks about. I still notice a slight bump steer on bigger bumps but I also have 35” tires so I would be better off getting the dual steering setup. Figured I’d try this first being that it’s cheaper than the dual setup. It definitely still works though and looks good!

My steering stabilizer had over 200,000 miles on it and I had no idea how bad it had become. The Bilstein stabilizer is a beast in construction and stiffness. Next, the entire installation took about 15 minutes and that included getting an adult beverage from the fridge. With that said, I had rebuilt the entire front end a month ago so the stock stabilizer had been removed and reinstalled once already.
